IndyCar slaps Scott Dixon with big grid penalty for Toronto race

IndyCar slaps Scott Dixon with big grid penalty for Toronto race
SHARE

The upcoming IndyCar race in Toronto is set to pose a new challenge for Scott Dixon, as his No. 9 car has been hit with a six-place grid penalty due to an unapproved engine change. Dixon, a seasoned driver, will now be using his sixth Honda engine for the 2025 season, with five races still remaining on the calendar.

Unlike Formula 1, where grid penalties are the norm for engine changes, IndyCar takes a different approach. The top class of open-wheel racing in the United States utilizes the threat of not earning any points towards the engine manufacturer championship through the default car, putting additional pressure on teams to ensure engine reliability.

IndyCar’s rulebook, specifically Article 16.1.2.3.2, states that any car using a fifth engine or more during a championship season forfeits its right to earn points for the engine manufacturer’s championship. Having already taken his fifth engine in Detroit, Dixon’s performance has not been contributing to the manufacturers’ cup for over a month. With the six-place grid penalty in Toronto, his grid position will be further compromised.

Despite Dixon’s struggles to support Honda in the manufacturers’ championship, his recent performances have been noteworthy. The six-time IndyCar Series champion clinched victory at the Mid-Ohio Grand Prix, becoming the third different race winner this season. Dixon’s strong showing continued at the Iowa Speedway, where he secured a second-place finish behind teammate Alex Palou.

Reflecting on his performance at Iowa, Dixon credited Honda for the team’s success, highlighting the advantages of the Japanese powertrain. With Honda currently leading the manufacturers’ championship standings by a significant margin, there is a possibility of them overtaking rival Chevrolet in the remaining races and ending the latter’s three-year reign at the top of the table.

As the IndyCar season progresses, all eyes will be on Scott Dixon and his team as they navigate the challenges posed by the grid penalties and strive to contribute to Honda’s quest for the manufacturers’ championship. With Dixon’s experience and Honda’s strong performance, the upcoming races promise to be action-packed and thrilling for fans of open-wheel racing.
